3D Universe

Until 1984

Couzin Ed was a rebellious young person. His stories recall him playing drums to Def Leppard songs during schooltime, smoking marijuana and amassing a vast knowledge of rock music. He has applied for work at V-Rock in Reddick, Florida by sending a CV written on rolling papers and got the job shortly after. Even while working on the radio, Couzin Ed continued to mantain his rebellious attitude by rolling the song playlist given to him in a marijuana joint.

1984

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Couzin Ed embodies the general stereotypes of a "metalhead": over-the-top mascuilinity, a (put-on) gravelly voice, a "reckless" lifestyle including a drinking problem and orgies, and a great passion for heavy metal. He is the main DJ of V-Rock, constantly making fun of Lazlow by questioning his sexuality, mocking his high-pitched voice and verbally assaulting him for not agreeing with ultraconservative political views.

1986

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Couzin Ed has been kicked off the station in the favor of Lazlow, who recently got his broadcasting degree and had agreed to work for lesser pay. Since then, he got married (but began attending marriage counselling shortly after), started to work as a bus driver, and let go of his "metalhead" personality. What happens to Couzin Ed after the events of the game is unknown.

-After he was fired, Ed remained unemployed, and his wife often argued with him because he didn't make enough money. Later he phoned in on V-Rock, telling Lazlow that he didn't know anything about rock and roll. He also claimed to have written Lazlow's entire playlist. It is unknown what happened to him afterwards. It is noteworthy that Ed has a different voice between [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], although this could be because he used a radio voice during his time as a DJ.
